Bringing ultra high-speed broadband to Stanford homes

These homes are just for staff/professors. It would be lovely if the student residencies have access to high speed broadband as well. :-)

That's nice, but what on Earth would any reasonable mortal do with one gigabit per second internet access?<p>My standard Comcast cable can download high-def video faster than I can play it. What more could one reasonably want?

Won't staff and professors have different usage patterns than the average college student? It might not show realistic usage ...

Universities have great connections. How about serving some of the under served communities first?

I am so hard right now.

Nice for Stanford. Not so nice for all the communities that applied only to watch Google pick Stanford some ~7 miles away.
